Sorry to hear that. I guy I used to work with had lymphatic cancer. He's been in remission for a couple of years now after chemo and an operation to remove the nodes. It took it out of him, but he's doing pretty well these days. Best wishes to your niece.

Very sorry to hear. I hope they've caught it early and are able to put a stop to it relatively easily. Not all that knowledgeable really, but I've always heard that the lymph nodes are not a good place for it to be or get to as that can be like the expressway for cancer to try to spread elsewhere.

If it's anything like what my girlfriend got...try and get her into actual cancer-fighting treatment ASAP. Push for stuff to be moved up if she's healthy enough to stand the treatment. Try to not let them screw you around with wasting time on this.

Sorry to hear about your friend, too. My advice for your niece is if it is bad news, the best you can do is spend as much time with her as possible and cherish the time you do have. I hope things work out though.

I'm so sorry you're having such an awful time, hun. I hope your niece's condition is in an early enough stage that it can be taken care of. I lost my nephew a few years back to neuroblastoma... you know how to contact me if you need to talk/vent.

So sorry to hear about this. I got a couple young cousins around that age and even though I'm not too close with them it'd break my heart if they had something like that. Best of luck to you and your niece.

Sadly I no longer frequent this community, but please give it a shot. You never know who you might connect with. I will forever cherish the fond memories I have of the fandom as it was in its heyday. Peace and love to you all - Later, dudes!!!
